[QUOTE="taitzu52, post: 2415605, member: 21465"] Just wanted to jump in..... I'm reading a lot of responses stating..."This seems ok." and "Cool character, wish I'd played that." This is fine, the math works ,I get that. But something in the back of my head is making me think that [i]dagger[/i] posted this thread to figure out where the heck a character like this fits in HIS game. He's not a computer, and has to work hard to cater to a few players wants and needs. Maybe I'm off base here. But I have problems like this too, I call it the "Captain Kirk Syndrome" GM: OK, guys. Let's play D&D Player 1: I'd like a wizard! Player 2: I'm a dwarf! Player 3: I wanna be Captain Kirk!! [SIZE=1]All others look at Player 3[/SIZE] DM: But....we're playing D&D. Player 3: I don't care, I wanna be Captain Kirk. DM: Is there anything else that you can think of that you'd have fun playing? Player 3: Not really. Now, most DM's don't have the courage to ask the last question at all, they just say "Ooooook." and go with it. BUT, [i]dagger[/i] posted with pause. I kind of fault "Mondo" worlds like FR, the ones that try to incorporate every aspect of Eastern/Western/Other fantasy. Or maybe the player's just bent on "Splinter Cel" style assassinations (in which case he's got solo issues, common with computer game converts, but another rant entirely) So am I going anywhere close to where you are, [i]dagger[/i]? These are similar character choice issues to mine. Hope you don't mind me sharing. TZ [/QUOTE]
